This is a great big thank you for last weeks advertisers. For those that I honor each week/month I'm well aware of the dedication you show. In order to stay in the top of the heap you're dropping EC every single day. Many of you have more than one blog and that's 300 drops per day per blog.

On New Year's Eve, Marilyn stood up in the local pub and said that it was time to get ready. At the stroke of midnight, she wanted every husband to be standing next to the one person who made his life worth living.

Well, it was kind of embarrassing. As the clock struck - the bartender was almost crushed to death.

It's time to play the comment game again. We are home, but I'm tired after the wonderful Christmas we enjoyed yesterday. I hope your Christmas was wonderful too. Now play nice okay, and have a terrific weekend.

Here's how it goes: I'll start the game off at the bottom of this post by choosing two words or phrases/questions, like coffee or tea, and which ever one you prefer you choose. You can also explain why. When you have done that you do two new words or phrases/questions for the next commenter to choose from. Feel free to come back as often as you like. Just have fun. If someone derails the game will one of you put it back on track? Thanks.

Thanks Lisa of Live and Learn for posting exactly what I was thinking.

I am making a conscious effort to wish everyone
A Merry Christmas this year ...
My way of saying that I am celebrating the birth Of Jesus Christ.
Maybe we can prevent one more American tradition from being lost in the sea of "Political Correctness".

A gift or a present is an item given to someone without the expectation of payment. Although gift-giving might involve an expectation of reciprocity, a gift is meant to be free. In many countries, the act of mutually exchanging money, goods, etc. may sustain social relations and contribute to social cohesion. Economists have elaborated the economics of gift-giving into the notion of a gift economy. Source: Wikipedia

I hate to be the one to defy sacred myth, but I believe he's a she. Think about it. Christmas is a big, organized, warm, fuzzy, nurturing social deal, and I have a tough time believing a guy could possibly pull it all off!

Who's jolly and cute, wearing a beard and a red flannel suit, and if he is chuckling and laughing away, while flying around in a miniature sleigh with eight tiny reindeer to pull him along, then lets face it... Your eggnog's too strong!

A government employee sat in his office, and out of boredom, decided to see what was inside his old filing cabinet. He poked through the contents and came across an old brass lamp. "This will look good on my mantel," he said, and took it home with him.

While polishing the lamp, a genie appeared and, as usual, granted him three wishes. "I would like an ice-cold Coke right now." He gets his Coke and drinks it.

Mother Superior was on her way to late morning prayers, when she passed two novices just leaving early morning prayers, on their way to classes. As she passed the young ladies, Mother Superior said, ‘Good morning sisters.’

The novices replied, ‘Good morning, Mother Superior, may God be with you.’ But after they had passed, Mother Superior heard one say to the other, ‘I think she got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning.’

It is near the end of the school year. The teacher has turned in her grades. There is really nothing to do. All the kids are restless because there is nothing to do and it is near the end of the day.

The teacher says, "Whoever answers the questions I ask first and correctly can leave early today." Little Johnny says to himself, "Good, I want to get outta here. I'm smart and will answer the question".

This is the first of two posts on my recent Change of Watch dinner wherein I was the hostess. I knew that there was going to be a 'Service Award', but I never dreamed that I would be the first recipient. I was totally shocked. It really made my day.

Tomorrow's post...Change of Watch where I went from rear commodore to vice commodore. It was indeed an exciting evening.

Tonight I am the host of our annual change of watch dinner. It's when each flag officer advances to the next chair in the yacht club, with the outgoing commodore advancing to staff commodore. Last year I was thrilled to start my first year as a flag officer. A rear commodore is responsible for executing all the drive in meetings (5) and then setting up the cruise outs (6) for the following year. Tonight is my last drive in function.

Every Friday Old Charlie went to his doctor with lots of things wrong with him. The doctor thought that he was a hypochondriac. However Old Charlie died and the doctor fretted about it thinking that there must have been something he missed. The worry killed the doctor. A little later there was a knock on his coffin.
